I agree. But then why was libfreebsd merged into glibc? > Alternatively couldn't we have these directly in the NFS userland code? Which functions are you referring to? getvfsbyname and getosreldate are not related to NFS (and getosreldate() is used in many places, I even had to implement a replacement in GRUB). >> getosreldate() also needed by NFS userland code >> (both fixes are in SVN). > > Please revert that (or leave them disabled). Whatever the decision, > we have to handle that with the 2.14 upload for versioning reasons. Which functions should be removed/disabled? We have: Two userland functions (not NFS specific): getosreldate getvfsbyname Two syscall stubs: nfssvc nlm_syscall -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
